Dental Emergency and Toothache

If you have a dental emergency or toothache, we aim to offer you treatment within 24 hours on our normal working days.

​

We keep dedicated slots available daily.  These are allocated on the day, on a first-come, first-served basis.  Please call 0191 286 3398 and our reception team will assist you. 

Emergency treatment abroad

If you are registered with us on the DPAS membership and you are away from the UK, you can get emergency treatment advice by calling +44 1691 887 955

​

Out Of Hours:

​

When the surgery is closed, you may need urgent treatment if you have:

​

  • Toothache or swelling that suggests an infection of a tooth or gum

  • Severe toothache or facial pain which is not controlled by taking over-the-counter painkillers

  • Trauma of the face, mouth or teeth after a recent accident or injury

  • A permanent tooth knocked out

  • Bleeding after tooth extraction that you cannot control

  • Serious swelling of the mouth or face which is getting worse 

​

Please call the practice for advice. If the practice is closed you can leave us a message and we will endeavour to return your call.  If the dentist does need to come and open the surgery out of normal working hours, there will be a £100 call-out fee for Private registered clients.
